Predicted outcome- Saints 27, Ravens 20
I hope to see Ravens 21, Saints 14.

WHEN THE SAINTS HAVE THE BALL

The Saints are rolling on offense, and both Brees and Colston have been at the front of the surge. Brees (3855 passing yards, 28 TD, 18 INT), who also connected with wide receiver Lance Moore for a touchdown pass last Sunday, has 14 scoring throws over his club's current win streak and is just 145 passing yards shy of joining the Colts' Peyton Manning as the only quarterbacks in league history with five straight 4,000-yard seasons. Leading receiver Colston (76 receptions, 921 yards, 7 TD), meanwhile, went his first six games without a touchdown catch, but has five over his last four games. Colston, Moore (54 receptions, 7 TD) and Bush all had five receptions versus the Rams, while Thomas made four catches and had a club-high 12 rushes for 39 yards. New Orleans, which ranks just 22nd in rushing at 101.1 yards per game, also got 39 yards on nine carries from Bush and a team-leading 47 yards on seven carries by Chris Ivory (683 rushing yards, 5 TD), who leads all NFL rookies in rushing yards.

The Ravens rank fourth in the league in points (17.6) and 10th in yards allowed per game (319.8), but struggled against Houston's passing attack on Monday. The Texans' Matt Schaub, who had to attempt 62 passes due to his team's big hole, completed three touchdown strikes while getting picked off twice. Cornerback Chris Carr (49 tackles, 2 INT) had the other pick for Baltimore, while Wilson (37 tackles, 3 INT) and safety Dawan Landry (88 tackles, 1 sack) led the way with seven tackles each. Defensive end Cory Redding (31 tackles, 3 sacks) and linebacker Terrell Suggs (59 tackles, 10 sacks) each had a sack against Houston, with Suggs moving to within two sacks of his career high set during his 2003 rookie season. One great matchup to watch will be Brees against Ravens linebacker and defensive leader Ray Lewis (117 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 INT), who has two interceptions in three career games versus New Orleans. Landry, meanwhile, had a career-high two interceptions when the Ravens last battled the Saints, including a 12-yard pick-six.

WHEN THE RAVENS HAVE THE BALL

The Ravens, who are averaging 22.6 points per game, exploded for 21 points in the first half on Monday. After running back Willis McGahee (288 rushing yards, 5 TD) pounded in a one-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter, quarterback Joe Flacco (3223 passing yards, 21 TD, 8 INT) completed a pair of touchdown passes to Derrick Mason, including a 26-yarder with under two minutes to play in the half. Flacco completed 22 of his 33 pass attempts for 235 yards and shook off getting sacked five times, upping his season total to 32 that's just four off his career high. Mason (53 receptions, 6 TD), meanwhile, ended with six catches for 78 yards and became the seventh player in league history to notch at least 50 receptions in 11 straight seasons. Fellow wideout Anquan Boldin (59 receptions, 7 TD) added three catches in the win. Though it was McGahee who found the end zone, running back Ray Rice (898 rushing yards, 57 receptions, 3 TD) needs to be watched at all times. The versatile back had 19 carries for just 54 yards on Monday, but led the club with eight catches for another 66 yards. Tight end Todd Heap (37 receptions, 5 TD) did not play versus the Texans due to pulled hamstring and is questionable to return this week.

While the Saints' offense gets most of the spotlight, the defense has been holding up its end of the bargain as well. New Orleans ranks fifth in scoring (18.5 ppg) defense and sixth in total defense (308.6 ypg), and Jenkins' long pick-six showed flashes of last year's unit that was so good at converting turnovers into points. Pressure was key versus Rams rookie quarterback Sam Bradford a week ago, as New Orleans got three sacks and also forced a fumble from St. Louis running back Steven Jackson that was recovered by cornerback Jabari Greer (53 tackles, 2 INT). Linebacker Jonathan Vilma (88 tackles, 4 sacks, 1 INT) led the way with eight tackles and safety Roman Harper (81 tackles, 3 sacks, 1 INT) added seven. Both also finished with a sack, as did defensive end Jeff Charleston (22 tackles, 2 sacks). Second-year pro Jenkins (59 tackles, 1 sack) recorded his first two picks of the season, moving into a tie with Greer for the team lead. New Orleans' secondary will need to keep its eye on Rice, and outside linebackers Scott Shanle (65 tackles) and Danny Clark (46 tackles) may need to prevent the Baltimore back from breaking a big one off the corners.

Who cares about the Packers?

So I see Tebow is starting against Oakland today. I guess I have to pull for Oakland today. Never thought the day would come where I would be saying that.

This is the least excited I have been for an NFL sunday in a long time. I mean look at the games that are on here.

1) Redskins/Cowboys - I'm not even excited about my own team here. Watching Grossman get killed while the Redskins struggle to score points (as always) will just be frustrating.

2) Steelers/Jets - CBS is trying to sell this as two AFC powerhouses (lol) going toe to toe, but does anybody buy that? The Patriots have already have already shown they are far better than both of these teams.

3) Pats/Packers - Will be a total blowout.

I know, I mean, every team has beaten every other one, Why bother watch football at all?

The Steelers were not good when I was a kid. They were so bad in the 80s that they used to get crushed by both the Bengals AND Browns if you can believe it!
 
Giants inactives today: KR/WR Darius Reynaud, DB Michael Coe, TE Jake Ballard, G Mitch Petrus, T Jamon Meredith, WR Devin Thomas, DE Alex Hall and DT Linval Joseph.

A little surprised to see Thomas on the list after his success recently on special teams. I also wonder if Shawn Andrews will be starting since he's active.

The 80's? Didn't the Steelers lose to the Raiders, Browns and Bungles twice last year. It wasn't that long ago.

Those were anomalies. Like the Pats 2001 Superbowl.

Interesting quote from Bart Scott who I always hated. He apparently loves the Steelers.

Bart Scott said:
"They play football like it used to be played," Scott said of the Steelers. "They try and be physical and impose their will on you. This is my absolutely most favorite team to play -- ever. Being in Baltimore for so long, Pittsburgh was a big deal."

He probably likes it so much because our offensive line let him sexually assault Ben so many times. :(
 
Holy shit. Did anyone else just see Irvin's "speech" to Santonio Holmes?

That was the funnest thing (unintentional still counts) I have seen in a long time.

Yep, came here to see the reaction after that happened. Oh dear.

Sapp just laughed at us :*(
 
So, I'm not sure if this inappropriate here, but FantasyGAF: start Vick @ NYG or Brees @ Ravens? I have Vick going now, but I feel like Brees has the better matchup... hard to go against Vick since he's been money all year when healthy. What do you guys think?

Of course I remember that. Those were the old Afc Central days of Wyche, Noll, Glanville, and Schottenheimer. Every single one hated the other The Steelers did okay. Maybe not elite, but usually in contention.

I was more objecting to a Steelers fan being a Lakers fan. Seems like that shouldn't be possible

Why do you feel like Brees has the better match up?
 
Oh man, Jags putting so much weight on this game(rightly so), I just know it's going to end badly today. At least I get to watch my team today!
 
Which two should I start Mike Williams (TB), Matt Forte vs Vikings outside or Fred Jackson vs Miami?

Which TE is the best play Dustin Keller, Benjamin Watson or Greg Olsen?

Did I just hear correct, Cassell is starting?
Click to expand...

Yup, I'm debating right now for my fantasy playoffs about starting Dwayne Bowe. If Cassel is in he has a chance to do something...and my bench isn't too great anyways...Maclin, TO, Mike Thomas. D:
 
Alright, so I really don't understand how Fox's "upset picks" work. Frank took the Cardinals to beat the Panthers. That's an upset? Was Carolina expected to win?

As for Leos/Bucs...I'm really not looking forward to this week. Our defense just keeps getting thinner and thinner, and we could be doomed unless our front four turns in another total ass-whooping.

I'm in the same boat as far as having Bowe. :( I heard Cassel was practicing throwing without involving his torso too much. :lol Come on!
 
I don't know who it is, but I told someone to start Brandon Lloyd, that was before I knew Tim Tebow was starting, at Oakland, in the Rain, vs Nnambi, Don't do it! Don't Do it I hope you get this message in time!

He hadn't been doing anything even with Orton there. :\

Sucks that Yahoo put him on the can't-cut list right when he starts to fucking suck.
